Well, the halt problem seems to be solved. It was caused by mounting NFS filesystem within a tree of another NFS fs. Like mounting NFS on /home and then another NFS mount to /home/another/nfs. Obviously the umount of /home happens before umount of /home/another/nfs and fails. Once I have moved /home/another/nfs mountpoint out of /home, halt seems to work (several attempts, no failure).
I think the umount procedure/script/whatever should be clever enough to sort it out, ie, umount in the appropiate order. If that doesn't happen, I think it is a bug. Or, it depends on the order the mounts are listed in fstab.
I still wonder why the shutdown initiated by Power button or Ctrl+Alt+Del worked while GDM button didn't. There are no open files on /home/another/nfs (almost never).
Perhaps because it force-kills everything. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFGLJ0VtTMYHG2NR9URAui1AJ0VVZuNDJJvavoZTij37KY2z288jwCgjYqG FWCavYEgU/bdPtUDAispT14= =nv7+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
